| Lineage | Wells from County Well Index that were sampled for chemical analysis. These wells were sampled in the field by Moira Campion, and the data were transferred to the GIS specialist as an Excel file. The file was converted into a comma separated value file, then the arc command 'generate' was used to create a point coverage. Subsequent updates were recorded in Excel files, which were converted to comma separated value file, then to INFO files using the INFO command ADD FROM. The INFO while would then be joined to the pre-existing point attribute table with the arc command, 'joinitem.' |
